you'll love it

Mine rocks.

also, be aware that the finish flakes off if you look at it too hard.

Did you go ahead and order the A&L?

Seagull acoustics are great.
Eko Ranger VIs are great. (recently reissued too!)

I ordered it, I haven't got it yet though. Now I'm on the lookout for a decent hard case for it, it's too nice to get scratched up.

It finally arrived, I'm very pleased with it. The neck is very nice, really thin and well finished with low action and the guitar has lots of sustain, which surprised me as my first acoustic (a plastic bowl back Applause Ovation) I had cost more and had next to no sustain. This is a very fine guitar...

Godin name plate inside:

I have one slight niggle though, the sound hole adornment is like...a sticker. From the pics I thought it was some exotic inlay or some such, not a big problem but I can't see it lasting long if a plectrum was to ever hit it.

damn that thing looks great.

yeah, the sticker surrounding the sound hole is pretty bad, but they're only on a&l's most expensive models. i have a discontinued art and lutherie and it sounds and plays great and doesn't have the sticker ornament-thing but a laser etched one? at least that's what it looks like. i got mine for $150 with a hard case. might post pics if people want them.

CAKE FTW

nice acoustic burbz, you planing to get a pickup for it or just leave it as a pure acoustic?

TheBurbz · Post by **TheBurbz** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 2:29 pm

Just leave it as it is I think, I have no knowledge of acoustic pickups and probably have no need for one anyway, I don't do gigs or owt.

I have that same guitar, I got it for free. Great little acoustic.
